Hey,
I own a '98 F150 STX. My shifter **** repeatedly pulls off while shifting, especially from first to second. Finally took a look inside it and saw that the splines molded into the plastic are flat and gone though you can see where they were. Looks like the previous owner twisted it off for some reason. I can spin it when it's on the shifter. Any idea what I can use to keep it on the shifter? I would like to have it look nice as to me this truck is new being my first nice truck and only having 97,000 on it.

I wrapped my shifter in one layer of duct tape and used alot of muscle while holding the shifter and forced the **** back on. Works great! This way as well if I ever want to change it out I can but don't have to worry about it coming off anymore.
